Aaaaaand just like that, there are only 9 days of school left.
Some notes for next week: > Monday is a regular day > On Tuesday, we need to be here by 7:30am so that we can leave on time for our Waterton field trip! > Friday is National Aboriginal Day; we'll have some special activities during the morning Class Work We spent some time this week doing "Year in Review" quizzes. We did one each in Science and Math, checking back on the concepts that we covered throughout the entire year to see what we remembered. We also did a year end Personal Growth self-evaluation. We had Aggie Days on Tuesday, which was a ton of fun! There were plenty of new activities this year, and it seemed like everyone was enjoying themselves. We also continued working on our Area and Perimeter Theme Park projects in Math. Waterton Field Trip **An important note: our field trip is outside, so it is weather dependent. We are keeping a close eye on the forecast, but if it is going to be miserable we won't be able to go -- we are looking into a back-up plan in case this happens** We will be leaving the school at 8am SHARP, so we are asking everyone to be here by 7:30am to get sorted out and make sure that we have everyone. Please do not be late as we cannot hold the busses. Thanks for reading, and have a great weekend! Mr. V

Good afternoon!
Well, we're in June. Just a few more weeks until Summer - I know we're all enjoying the warmer weather! Some notes for next week: > Mr. V is away on Monday > Dress like a Superhero day is Tuesday (to line up with Aggie Days) not Monday, although some classes will likely dress up for both days, so you're welcome to if you want to! > Aggie Days is Tuesday afternoon for our class. Remember to wear good shoes and dress for the weather! The forecast is currently calling for it to be sunny, so sunscreen may be a good idea. > LOTG is on Tuesday as well for those who have ordered it > A reminder that I'm still missing a few Waterton field trip forms, so if you haven't brought it back yet, please do so ASAP. Class Work: Writing: we're learning about writing Comic Books. We learned that comic book writers don't just start drawing pictures: they plan out the story and write a script with descriptions, dialogue, and ideas of how the page will be laid out. We're also writing paragraphs most days to practice organizing information, giving details, and separating ideas into complete sentences. Math: we're working on Theme Park designs. This project is designed to utilize the students' knowledge of area and perimeter, as well as problem solving skills to fit all of the necessary components into the limited space. We're also continuing to do a word problem every week. Reading: we're finishing up our class read-aloud, The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairlyand in a Ship of Her Own Making. We're also spending plenty of time reading books of the students' choosing, inside and outside. I'm also super excited for everyone to get a chance to read each other's Camp NaNoWriMo stories as they will be joining out class library this week! Science/Social: we've pretty much finished up with our Science and Social units for the year. Our Waterton field trip in a couple weeks will touch on various aspects of these curriculums (such as identity, National Parks, plants, and Albertan/Canadian culture). Thanks for reading! Mr. V |
